My West Ham Player Ratings: 2018-19

LUCASZ FABIANSKI 9/10:  Proved to be a significant upgrade and very consistent. Produced great saves almost routinely.

ADRIAN: 5/10: Only given Cup games due to form of Fabianski, but a loyal back-up.

PABLO ZABALETA: 6/10: Always gives it everything and an example to others, though at 34 he is starting to look alarmingly slow against fast wingers.

RYAN FREDERICKS: 6/10:  A very tentative start but towards the end of the season started to show his speed going forward and got in some match-saving tackles. 

ARTHUR MASUAKU 5/10: Had a terrible run of winter defensive blunders, but improved when restored towards the end of the season. Decent going forward but struggles unless played as a wing-back.

AARON CRESSWELL: 5/10: Had a great game against Arsenal but has generally looked depleted by his injuries and not the player he was three years ago.

ISSA DIOP: 8/10: Admired by Mourinho and had a great game at Spurs. Had a dip when he was rested but a fantastic prospect, good in the air and capable of rampaging runs forward.

FABIAN BALBUENA 7/10: A bargain at £3.5 million. Lacking a bit of pace, but makes some great interceptions and reads the game well. Was missed when out injured.

ANGELO OGBONNA 5/10: Has gone backwards since the final season at the Boleyn. Scored a few goals and did a job but seems to have lost his pace. 

MARK NOBLE 8/10: A great season from the skipper, who has benefitted from his hernia operations. The side always looked better with Nobes in it and he showed skill going forward too.

DECLAN RICE 9/10: Great season from the young Irishman/Englishman. Did the simple things well, scored a couple of goals and made some great tackles. Made the defensive midfield position his own.

ROBERT SNODGRASS 7/10: Showed fantastic character to win over the doubters and play in nearly every game. Became a bit of a cult for his workrate and very effective corners.

PEDRO OBIANG 5/10: An inconsistent season and looks like he might benefit from a change of club.

MANUEL LANZINI 6/10: Missed most of the season with serious injury but was starting to look back to his best in the defeat at Old Trafford.

CARLOS SANCHEZ 5/10: Hardly played because of injury. Despite giving a goal away against Wolves, he looked like he might be an effective defensive shield if given a run.

JACK WILSHERE 4/10: Undoubted class but tragically injury probe — who knew? At least he ended the season on a high returning to bag an assist against Southampton.

FELIPE ANDERSON 8/10: A little inconsistent and made a slow start, but weighed in with ten goals and produced some wonderful moments of magic. Could be West Ham's talisman and has even started to tackle back defensively.

SAMIR NASRI 6/10: Still has class and made the difference against Arsenal and Huddersfield. Suffered frustrating injuries, but worth persevering with.

GRADY DIANGANA 6/10: A good breakthrough season for the young winger, who showed no fear when taking on seasoned defenders. Needs to improve defensively but a fine prospect.

MICHAIL ANTONIO 7/10: Finally looks to have overcome his injury curse and has his speed back. Scored some important goals late on and knows how to celebrate with carpet stroking and silly dance moves.

JAVIER HERNANDEZ 6/10: Always likely to score when used as a sub but looks unsuited to playing as a lone striker. Still a great finisher but will he ever be more than a super sub?

MARKO ARNAUTOVIC 6/10. Great before Christmas, then a terrible dip and sulk after his move to China didn't happen. Looked more motivated in the last few games though and still managed to hit double figures.

ANDY CARROLL 4/10: Managed to score against Birmingham but this looked a season too far for the injury-prone big man.

LUCAS PEREZ 6/10: Looks poor outside the box, but he can certainly finish and with limited chances did well to score six goals.

ANDRIY YARMOLENKO 6/10: Had a brilliant game against Everton but then his season ended with injury. Has a great left foot and will be interesting to see what he does next season.

End-of-season West Ham player ratings

Regrets we've had a few, but not too few to mention…

ADRIAN: 6/10 Some erratic form saw him dropped for five months but returned looking solid and played a big part in survival.

DARREN RANDOLPH: 5/10 showed some good form after being given the number one spot but his confidence went after a number of unforced errors.

SAM BYRAM: 5/10 Still suspect defensively but dug in and looked more solid at the end, while always threatening on the overlap. Will benefit from this season’s experience.

ALVARO ARBELOA: 1/10. Always injured bar a disastrous appearance as a sub against Arsenal. We expected much more from a World Cup winner.

AARON CRESSWELL: 5/10 Lost half a season through injury and then a worrying dip in form.  Started to improve and get some trademark crosses in towards the end.

ARTHUR MASUAKU: 6/10 Had a ’mare at WBA but upon his return from injury looked really assured going forward and briefly kept Cresswell out of the side.

JAMES COLLINS: 6/10 His pace has faded but still inspired the side with his leadership qualities late on. And some impressive shirt-giving away at the end of games.

WINSTON REID: 6/10 Injury disrupted his season, but always committed and hopefully his operation will clear up a long-standing problem with his knee.

ANGELO OGBONNA: 6/10 Long-term injury curtailed his season and needs to play in a settled formation, but still a quality player.

JOSE FONTE: 5/10 Started poorly, but in a five-man defence looked much more solid and made some great blocks.

MARK NOBLE: 6/10 Not a great season, but played through the pain barrier with a hernia and produced when it mattered against Spurs and netted those vital pens against Hull and Burnley. Still Mr West Ham.

PEDRO OBIANG: 7/10 Made the defensive shield position his own before injury, won lots of tackles, made some goals and even scored at the Saints.

CHEIKHOU KOUYATE: 7/10 Played out of position most season but did a job wherever he was asked to play. Vital goals against Chelsea and Swansea.

HAVARD NORDTVEIT: 3/10 Not a right back, but looked better in his defensive midfield role at the end of the season. Still a major disappointment though.

MIKHAIL ANTONIO: 8/10 Was never a right-back either, but shone in a poor side and always gives maximum effort. Our top scorer, his highlight was making all three goals against Palace.

EDIMILSON FERNANDES: 6/10 Did well at wing-back and though at times bypassed against the bigger teams, looks promising in midfield.

DIMITRI PAYET: 0/10 Scored a superb goal against Boro and still made the most chances for WHU despite leaving in January. But can’t be forgiven for going on strike and playing at 80 per cent.

MANUEL LANZINI: 8/10 Made the playmaker position his own after Payet left. Scored some vital goals and always a pleasure to watch. Though if he gets injured we’re really stuck.

SOFIANE FEGHOULI: 6/10 His four goals suggest there’s something to build on. Still erratic, but on his day can make a difference with his crossing.

ROBERT SNODGRASS: 4/10 Hasn’t got going, despite impressing with Hull. Hopefully a good pre-season might help him thrive with the Hammers.

GOKHAN TORE: 1/10 Did make the first ever league goal at the London Stadium, but generally looked poor and then injured for the whole season.

ANDY CARROLL: 6/10 Great when he played, and scored an unbelievable goal against Palace. But as ever, he’s hardly ever fit. After four seasons of injuries we can’t rely on him anymore.

ANDRE AYEW: 6/10 Bad injury early doors, but now started to bag some goals though he still misses a lot of easy chances. Do we know what his best position is?

SIMONE ZAZA: 3/10 Not helped by that silly buy-after-14 games clause, but never looked like scoring. Then left and scored a worldie against Real Madrid.

DIAFRA SAKHO: 2/10 Scored at Man United but apart from that missed the whole season with his back problem. Will he ever be the same player again? Our best striker when fit.

JONATHAN CALLERI: 3/10 Impressed with his work rate late on and played well against Spurs, but generally just doesn’t look like a natural finisher or a Premier League striker.

ASHLEY FLETCHER: 3/10 Signs of promise and scored at Man United in the League Cup. But only ever gets a few minutes here and there and has to get a goal during his cameos if he is to compete.

THE POST: 10/10 Had an amazing game against Hull and looked solid throughout the season.
